In case you want to ping the list.

So she’s an activist, on the SC, ,,,,,, isn’t that wonderful.

At least we have Roberts. /puke

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Because enforcement of the law should be unexpected.

How else can you keep the peasants cowering in their hovels?

"...driven by the American concept that success should always be based on merit. The problem with that concept, I think, as most people know, is that success is not always about merit."

Oh, boy. So, what should success be based on? Skin color? Somebody's idea of who or what should be successful?

[VRWC For Truth]

The unwise Latina is a racist joke.

[Fledermaus]

No, sometimes you have to do your job and uphold the oath you took regardless of your personal beliefs you stupid, left wing liberal b****.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“Every time we decide, even when I’m in the majority and I think we’re right, you know that there’s a loser.”

There is so much banal ignorance conveyed in that single sentence, it’s astounding. A junior high-school debating team captain is now sitting on the USSC. Put there because of her nationality and despite her inadequacy and unsuitability for the job. What a disgrace.

[drypowder]

It means that the issues are not clear under existing law

you mean like when Justice John Roberts inserted his own language into the ACA and replaced Fine with Tax? Is that what you mean Justice Sotomayor? You activist POS.

[TexasFreeper2009]

I agree... she should do the unexpected... and starting voting with Thomas every time :)

It would be hilarious to see the liberals heads explode if such a thing came to pass

[trisham]

What a self-involved dolt.

[jimt]

Once she started talking about being a “wise Latrina” I kinda lost interest. Race based wisdom doesn’t appeal.

[BenLurkin]

Once we decide, there is no more hope. …

We'll see about that.

[liberalh8ter]

The wise Latina just told us she’s all about picking a team. To my mind, our only hope is to prove Obama wasn’t eligible to nominate her or Butch. I realize there are those who will say, ‘but they were confirmed’ but they would never have come up for confirmation in the first place. Obama stole someone else’s opportunity to nominate.

success is not always about merit

And every time it isn't we should hold it up for contempt. Whether the success is based on political pull, family name or just dumb luck we should always state that the reason isn't for merit. Success without merit for some also taints those who are in the same group who did merit that success.

The left are more than willing to make those arguments when claiming that the majority of inheritances should be taken by the government because the heirs didn't earn that money based on merit. Odd, but they never seem to feel that way about their favorite family of drunkards and pill-poppers from Boston, believing that every new generation should exert even more power.

This is great news since the “unexpected” from her would be to actually uphold the constitution. Unfortunately, that’s probably not what she means.

[BitWielder1]

It's not your job to be interesting.
It's not your job to make new laws.
It's not your job to make justice a crap shoot.
Your job is to interpret the law and explain and clarify when it's unclear.

[CGASMIA68]

With a capital “C”

"Once we decide, there is no more hope."

Well, not anymore since Traitor Roberts went to the Dark Side. Now that 0bama et. al. don't follow The Law, no one else has any need to either.

[Secret Agent Man]

In case you want to harf up your lunch.

THey are not the ultimate deciders. Future courts can overturn their verdicts. Congress can pass laws putting topics out of reach of SCOTUS. The People can say eff off to SCOTUS.

[henkster]

She could follow the law and apply the true meaning of the Constitution in her opinions. That would sure as hell be “unexpected.”
